A summer that toppled heat records left a trail of disasters around the globe. The world may be just six years away from breaching the Paris Agreement's temperature target of 1.5 degrees Celsius, setting the stage for much worse calamities to come. And governments are cutting their greenhouse gas pollution far too slowly to head off the problem and haven't coughed up the billions of dollars they promised to help poorer countries cope with the damage.
Global warming since the preindustrial era has been driving global temperatures skyward since the 19th century... The world has already warmed by about 1.3 degrees Celsius, or 2.3 degrees Fahrenheit, and most of that warming has occurred since the 1970s.
